  • Composition useful for protein fragment complementation assays (PCA) using fragments of /TEM-1 ?-lactamase
    Patent number: 7955832
    Abstract: The present invention describes an assay method comprising: (A) generating (1) at least a first fragment of a reporter molecule linked to a first interacting domain and at least a second fragment of a reporter molecule linked to a second interacting domain, or (2) nucleic acid molecules that code for (A)(1) and subsequently allowing said nucleic acid molecules to produce their coded products; then, (B) allowing interaction of said domains; and (C) detecting reconstituted reporter molecule activity, where said reporter molecule can react with a penicillin- or a cephalosporin-class substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2011
    Assignee: ODYSSEY THERA Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen William Watson Michnick, André Galarneau
